Answer: The former applies Rule 9.22: The example states the Kleist and Ruoff are 5 & 3 respectively for the weight of opinion. Would they not be halved and 'controlled' and thus yield 2 and 0 respectively if Hitler was in the left-most Outraged box? Answer No - Ooops - This should have been indicated as an exception to the rule for this example. Thanks for spotting it! Rule 8.172: If an NKVD Political unit cadre flips to its 4 strength side and increases the PCF total in the hex enough to violate stacking, when would the 'overstack' situation be resolved or take effect? Answer Only at the end of their own turn. (They are supposed to be the "heroes" of the game in a sense). Rule 8.171: If an IND stack contains an NKVD unit and is attacked or attacks and therefore becomes ISO, may the NKVD unit make the stack IND again during the next Command Control Segment? Answer YES Rule 8.171: Do German infantry units get 'expertise' modifiers when attacking an NKVD unit alone in a hex? Answer NO Rule 9.23: If the Soviets capture a 'Hitler Objective" city, does Hitler get 'mad'? Answer YES (most emphatically)! Rule 9.11: Are there any penalties for not garrisoning the cities since they are not garrisoned initially? Answer NO, but such cities are vulnerable to capture by partisans or airdrops. Scenario 10.4: Soviet Reserve Points. Unit type and cost table: 1 TR Naval unit and a 3 PCF Marine unit. Should these be 4 PCF Marines? Answer YES Scenario 10.4: Soviet Campaign Options. Parachute Commando Raid: May these move from the placement airfield to another airfield prior to being dropped? Answer NO May these units drop in enemy ZOC? Answer YES May these units drop on enemy units: Combat class? Answer NO Support class? Answer NO Irregular class? Answer NO Transport class? Answer NO May these units drop in multiple hexes? Answer NO May these units drop in different turns? Answer NO >> Thanks for writing! Best Wishes, Steve Rawling Regards, Rick Robinson Madison, AL
